BEFORE YOU BEGIN
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF EXERCISE:
• Weight Loss
• A Healthier Heart
• Improved Muscle Tone
• Increased Daily Energy Levels
The key to reaping these benefits is to develop an exercise habit. Your new treadmill will help you eliminate
obstacles that prevent you from exercising. Inclement weather and darkness won't interfere with your
workout when you use your treadmill in the comfort of your home. This guide provides you with basic
information for using and enjoying your new machine.
LOCATION OF THE TREADMILL
Place the treadmill on a level surface. There should be 6 feet of clearance
behind the treadmill, 3 feet on each side and one foot in front for folding
and the power cord. Do not place the treadmill in any area that will block
any vent or air openings.
DO NOT STAND ON THE BELT
While you are preparing to use the treadmill, do not stand on the belt.
Place your feet on the side rails before starting the treadmill. Start
walking on the belt only after the belt has begun to move. Never start the
treadmill at a fast running speed and attempt to jump on!
SAFETY KEY
Your treadmill will not start unless the safety key is placed in position. Attach the clip end securely to your
clothing. This safety key is designed to cut the power to the treadmill if you should fall. Check the operation
of the safety key every 2 weeks.

CENTERING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment. Before operating the
treadmill, make sure the belt is centered and remains
centered to maintain smooth operation.
CAUTION: Do not run belt faster than
1 mph (1.5 km/h) while centering. Keep fingers, hair
and clothing away from belt at all times.
If the running belt is too far to the right side:
With the treadmill running at 1 mph (1.5 km/h) ,
turn the right adjustment bolt clockwise 1/4 TURN at
a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the
belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if
more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until
the belt remains centered during use.
If the running belt is too far to the left side:
With the treadmill running at 1 mph (1.5 km/h) , turn
the right adjustment bolt counter-clockwise 1/4 TURN
at a time (using the supplied Allen wrench). Check the
belt alignment. Allow belt to run a full cycle to gauge if
more adjustment is needed. Repeat if necessary, until
the belt remains centered during use.
Belt is too far to the right side
Belt is too far to the left side
TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT
The running belt has been properly adjusted at the
factory before it was shipped. At times the belt can
move off-center during shipment.
CAUTION: Running belt should NOT be moving during
tensioning. Over-tightening the running belt can
cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its
components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the
treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most
cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the
belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment.
To eliminate this slipping, TURN THE TREADMILL OFF
and tension BOTH THE REAR ROLLER BOLTS using the
supplied Allen wrench, turning them 1/4 TURN to the
right as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for
slipping. Repeat if necessary, but NEVER TURN the
roller bolts more than 1/4 turn at a time. Belt is properly
tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.

ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM.
HOW OFTEN? (Frequency of Workouts)
The American Heart Association recommends that you exercise at least 3 to 4 days per week to maintain
cardiovascular fitness. If you have other goals such as weight or fat loss, you will achieve your goal faster with
more frequent exercise. Whether it’s 3 days or 6 days, remember that your ultimate goal should be to make
exercise a lifetime habit. Many people are successful staying with a fitness program if they set aside a specific
time of day to exercise. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in the morning before breakfast, during lunch hour or while
watching the evening news. What’s more important is that it’s a time that allows you to keep a schedule, and a
time when you won’t be interrupted. To be successful with your fitness program, you have to make it a priority in
your life. So decide on a time, pull out your day planner and pencil in your exercise times for the next month!
HOW LONG? (Duration of Workouts)
For aerobic exercise benefits, it’s recommended that you exercise from between 24 and 60 minutes per
session. But start slowly and gradually increase your exercise times. If you’ve been sedentary during the past
year, it may be a good idea to keep your exercise times to as little as five minutes initially. Your body will need
time to adjust to the new activity. If your goal is weight loss, a longer exercise session at lower intensities has
been found to be most effective. A workout time of 48 minutes or more is recommended for best weight loss
results.
HOW HARD? (Intensity of Workouts)
How hard you workout is also determined by your goals. If you use your treadmill to prepare for a 5K run, you will
probably work out at a higher intensity than if your goal is general fitness. Regardless of your long term goals,
always begin an exercise program at low intensity. Aerobic exercise does not have to be painful to be beneficial!
There are two ways to measure your exercise intensity. The first is by monitoring your heart rate (using the grip
pulse handlebars or a wireless chest transmitter - may be sold separately), and the second is by evaluating your
perceived exertion level (this is simpler than it sounds!).
PERCEIVED EXERTION LEVEL
A simple way to gauge your exercise intensity is to evaluate your perceived exertion level. While exercising, if you
are too winded to maintain a conversation without gasping, you are working out too hard. A good rule of thumb
is to work to the point of exhilaration, not exhaustion. If you cannot catch your breath, it’s time to slow down.
Always be aware of these warning signs of overexertion.

What is Target Heart Rate Zone?
Target Heart Rate Zone tells you
the number of times per minute
your heart needs to beat to
achieve a desired workout effect.
It is represented as a percentage
of the maximum number of times
your heart can beat per minute.
Target Zone will vary for each
individual, depending on age,
current level of conditioning,
and personal fitness goals. The
American Heart Association
recommends working-out at a
Target Heart Rate Zone of between
60% and 75% of your maximum
heart rate. A beginner will want to
workout in the 60% range while
a more experienced exerciser will
want to workout in the 70-75%
range. See chart for reference.
EXAMPLE:
For a 42-year-old user: Find age along the bottom of the chart (round to 40), follow age column up to
the target zone bar. Results: 60% of maximum Hear Rate = 108 Beats Per Minute, 75% of maximum
Heart Rate = 135 Beat Per Minute.
ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE BEGINNING AN EXERCISE PROGRAM.

TIPS
STRETCH FIRST
Before using your product, it is best to take a few minutes doing a few gentle stretching exercises.
Stretching prior to exercise will improve flexibility and reduce chances of exercise related injury. Ease into
each of these stretches with a slow gentle motion. Do not stretch to the point of pain. Make sure not to
bounce while doing these stretches.
1. STANDING CALF MUSCLE STRETCH
Stand near a wall with the toes of your left foot about 18" from the wall, and
the right foot about 12" behind the other foot. Lean forward, pushing against
the wall with your palms. Keep your heels flat and hold this position for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching.
Repeat on the other side.
2. STANDING QUADRICEPS STRETCH
Using a wall to provide balance, grasp your left ankle
with your left hand and hold your foot against the back
of your thigh for 15 seconds. Repeat with your right
ankle and hand.
3. SITTING HAMSTRING & LOWER BACK MUSCLE STRETCH
Sit on the floor with your legs together and straight out in front of you. Do
not lock your knees. Extend your fingers towards your toes and hold for a
count of 15 seconds. Make sure that you do not bounce while stretching. Sit
upright again. Repeat one time.

GNINOITIDNOC SENILEDIUG
WARM UP
The first 2 to 5 minutes of a workout should be devoted to warming up. The warm-up will limber your
muscles and prepare them for more strenuous exercise. Make sure that you warm-up on your product at a
slow pace. The warm up should gradually bring your heart rate into your Target Heart Rate Zone.
COOL DOWN
Never stop exercising suddenly! A cool-down period of 3-5 minutes allows your heart to readjust to the
decreased demand. Make sure that your cool down period consists of a very slow pace to allow your heart
rate to lower. After the cool-down, repeat the stretching exercises listed to loosen and relax your muscles.
An important step in developing a long term fitness program is to determine your goals. Is your primary
goal for exercising to lose weight? Improve muscle? Reduce stress? Prepare for the spring racing schedule?
Knowing what your goals are will help you develop a more successful exercise program. Below are some
common exercise goals:
• Weight Loss - lower intensity, longer duration workouts
• Improve Body Shape and Tone - interval workouts, alternate between hi and low intensities
• Increased Energy Level - more frequent daily workouts
• Improved Sports Performance - high intensity workouts
• Improved Cardiovascular Endurance - moderate intensity, longer duration workouts
If possible try to define your personal goals in precise, measurable terms, and then put your goals in writing.
The more specific you can be, the easier it will be to track your progress. If your goals are long term, divide
them up into monthly and weekly segments. Longer term goals can lose some of the immediate motivation
benefits. Short term goals are easier to achieve. Your console provides you with several readouts that can
be used to record your progress. You can track Distance, Calories or Time.

COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL?
All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers, especially new
treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although may not totally go away. Over time, the belt will
stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
WHY IS THE TREADMILL I PURCHASED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise
than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay
floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is
placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
TROUBLESHOOTING - TREADMILL
Your treadmill is designed to be reliable and easy to use. However, if you experience a problem, please reference the
troubleshooting guide listed below.
PROBLEM: The console does not light up and/or the belt does not move.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
IF YES:
• Double check that all connections are secure, especially the console cable. Unplug and reconnect the console
cable to verify.
• Make sure the console cable is not pinched or damaged in any way.
• Turn the power off, unplug the power cable and wait 60 seconds. Remove motor cover. Wait until all red LED
lights have gone off on the motor control board before proceeding. Next, verify that no wires are loose or
disconnected.
IF NO:
• Verify that the outlet the machine is plugged into is functional. Double check that the breaker has not tripped,
it is on a dedicated circuit, and it is not plugged into a power strip/surge protector or extension cord.
• The power cord is not pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet AND the machine.
• The power switch is turned to the ON position.

• Make sure the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated circuit.
• Verify that you do not have the machine on an extension cord or surge protector.
PROBLEM: The running belt does not stay centered during a workout.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
• Make sure the treadmill is on a level surface.

TROUBLESHOOTING - HEART RATE
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, underground fencing,
home security systems or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
• Pressing too hard on the sensor. Try to maintain moderate pressure while pressing the sensor.
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them together to warm.
• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.
PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL DEALER FOR SUPPORT.
The following information may be asked of you when you call. Please have these items readily available:
• Model Name
• Serial Number
• Date of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)
In order for Customer Tech Support to service your treadmill they may need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms
that are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
• How long has this problem been occurring?
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding,
squeaking, chirping etc.)?
• Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the maintenance schedule?
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service
necessary to get you and your treadmill running again!

Cleanliness of your treadmill and its operation environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a
minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Clean and inspect, following these steps:
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Wipe down the running belt, deck, motor cover, and console casing with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as
they can cause damage to the treadmill.
• Inspect the power cord.
• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the treadmill or in any other area where it can become pinched or
cut.
• Check the tension and alignment of the running belt. Make sure that the treadmill belt will not damage any other
components on the treadmill by being misaligned.
EVERY WEEK
Clean underneath the treadmill, following these steps:
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Fold the treadmill into the upright position, making sure that the lock latch is secure.
• Move the treadmill to a remote location.
• Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the treadmill.
• Return the treadmill to its previous position.
EVERY MONTH - IMPORTANT!
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Inspect all assembly bolts of the machine for proper tightness.
• Turn off the treadmill and wait 60 seconds.
• Remove the motor cover. Wait until ALL LED lights turn off.
• Clean the motor and lower board area to eliminate any lint or dust particles that may have accumulated. Failure
to do so may result in premature failure of key electrical components.
• Vacuum and wipe down the belt with a damp cloth. Vacuum any black/white particles that may accumulate
around the unit. These particles may accumulate from normal treadmill use.
EVERY 6 MONTHS OR 150 MILES
It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months or 150 miles to maintain optimal performance.
Once the treadmill reaches 150 miles, the console will display the message “LUBE” or LUBE BELT”. The treadmill will
not operate while the message is showing. Hold Stop for 5 seconds to suspend message for 5 miles. Your treadmill
came with a bottle of lubricant which can be used for two applications.
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the
power cord at the wall outlet.
• Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two
removable marks on both sides of the frame and note roller
position). Once the belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant
and apply it to the entire top surface of the running deck. Tighten
both rear roller bolts (matching up the marks for proper position)
to original position. After you have applied lubricant, plug in the
power cord, insert the safety key, start the treadmill and walk on
the belt for two minutes to spread the lubricant.
• Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
• Once lubrication is complete, reset the console by pressing and
holding ‘STOP’ and Speed ‘+’ buttons for 5 seconds.
